Another South African No 1. Goes Bye Bye

News: construction will begin next year on Africa's tallest building – a 540-metre-high skyscraper in Morocco.

The 114-storey tower in Casablanca will be more than twice the height of the 223-metre Carlton Centre in Johannesburg, which has been the tallest building on the continent since its completion in 1973.

"It will be Africa's highest tower," project manager Amede Santalo told news agency AFP, revealing that the skyscraper is due to start on site in June.
